Shalom Y'all

So my new companion is Elder Payne and he has only been out 6 weekslonger than I have. He was the VP at Corner Canyon. He's pretty cooland we get along really well so this should be a good transfer.

If anyone has ever wondered what it's like to knock on doors duringthanksgiving I'll save you some time and tell you it sucks. But we gotto eat thanksgiving dinner with two families so that was fun. Theselast couple of days Elder Payne and I have had a ton of successtracting. We've had people who invite us in right off the bat whichnever happens.

Yesterday we met this guy who looked like a Kevin Hart but a lotmeaner, but he was actually super cool and we taught him and he saidhe would be baptized! It was crazy because this guy is swearing leftand right but the spirit was definitely still there. We are going backnext Saturday to teach him and he said he would come to church nextweek.

Elder McDonald got transferred to Louisa which is way out in theboonies, they barley have enough people for a branch, but he's from apretty small town so he's probably used to it.

I've started reading the sacrament hymn after we sing it while theypass the sacrament and it makes the sacrament a lot more spiritual.The sacrament hymns actually have a ton of good stuff in them that younever think about when you read them.

We helped this investigator rake her backyard and we ended up with ahuge pile of leaves, I'll attach some pictures of it. I hope everyonehad a super awesome thanksgiving!!!
